Procedure

2,6-Dichloro-3-nitrobenzoic acid (2.13 g, 9.03 mmol) was dissolved in 2:1 THF:saturated aqueous NH4Cl and cooled to 0° C. The mixture was treated with zinc (11.8 g, 181 mmol). The reaction mixture was allowed to warm to ambient temperature and stir for 24 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered through GF/F paper while rinsing with THF. The mixture was acidified to a pH of 1 using 1.0M HCl and extracted with 15% 2-propanol:DCM (3×). The extracts were washed with water and brine, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated to afford 3-amino-2,6-dichlorobenzoic acid (1.40 g, 6.82 mmol, 75.5% yield). MS (APCI-neg) m/z=203.6 (M-H).
